if it's the law of the land, the president shouldn't keep ignoring the law. a president under a constitutional system doesn't have the ability to pick and choose which laws to follow and that's the same pattern you see in dictatorial society where it says ignore the law, go with the power of the president instead of the written law. >> the president's a dictator. you know, they're running out of talking points when they turn to fear. and now creepy uncle sam is back. the group backed by billionaires is again trying to scare young people from buying insurance. so why the freakout? because the law is working. 27,000 people enrolled in health care plans through the federal website just on tuesday. 56,000 signed up over three days. and the demand's even higher. more than 3.7 million people visited the site this week. these are real people who are getting covered. >> helen signed up for the market place wednesday. she's a single mom who's self-employed and putting her daughter through college. >> with my health conditions, diabetes, high blood pressure, this is a

but even as the law is working the right wing media is still pedestri peddling the laws. remember this one? when shawn hannity had this panel on the show complaining about how much obama care would hurt small businesses? but it turned out it just wasn't true. they hadn't even visited the website. and just their week the new york post ran a story about parents who couldn't get their toddler covered under obama care. then it went on tv. >> how is it possible that you go to look for an insurance plan and baby erin is not covered? can you walk us through that? >> it was nightmare. >> being a parent and having four children, to find out that your baby is not going to be on the plan is quite distressing. >> this story was all over the place. even john boehner got in on it tweeting quote, i couldn't believe what i was being told. a dad who learned obama care wouldn't cover his baby. but that turned out to be totally false too. why? the father's application listed only three children. turns out he has four. oops. now we come to expect these bogus stories from conservative media.

and obama says, look, the laws are on the books. it's my job to carry out these laws. you know, if i could, i would stop these deportations. that's what he told the heckler recently at the speech. so michele bachmann's idea that obama does anything he wants, flies in the face of the fact that he is not doing the very thing that he says he wants to do and that his base wants him to do. >> well, you know, goldie, when you look at the fact that ryan's talking about hecklers, we remember when congressman joe wilson called the president a liar in the middle of the state of the union address. now the number two republican in the senate is calling the president a liar. he says, quote, i think the current administration has taken lying to a new level. now, when you look at that and the claims he's operating imperial, i mean, the president has made it very clear that he's not a king. and that he cannot act without congress. listen to this, goldie. >> i am not a dictator. i'm the president. so ultimately if mitch mcconnell or john boehner say we need to go to catch a plane, i ca

alabama congressman moe brooks on the health care law. listen to this. >> the democrats right now, they crave something that will distract public attention from the calamity known as obama care. the democrats, they need a shutdown. they need something dramatic, perhaps a war, something. that will deflect public attention from how bad this socialized medicine system is. >> democrats want a war to district from the socialized health care law? how can republicans say something so irresponsible, victoria. and will all of this extremism come home to roost in 2014 in the midterm elections? >> my hunch is that it will. and we saw a little glimmer of that in the election in alabama where a moderate republican was able to beat out the more extreme tea party candidate. it might take awhile to see nationwide, but i do think that the tea party doesn't have the strength that it did previously. that being said, it is going to be interesting to see how john cornyn plays this out. because keep in mind, this is the first tea party election he has ever run

this was the way to change laws. this was the way to create a black middle class was through education. some of the first black graduates of competitive colleges couldn't go back and even teach in the same schools where they had graduated from. the first black woman to earn a ph.d. eva sykes came back and taught at dunbar high school. my parents went there and told me they had teachers who were phenomenally educated people. and they also. had people that went out to be teachers. it was doctor, lawyer, preacher, teacher. that was an important job in the black community. and the people that came out of dunbar were so dedicated to making sure these students, these children that many people in washington thought were morally inferior, socially inferior. no, no, that's not the case. they are going to go out and make things better. >> it's a historic place now for people all over the country. i did the march on washington anniversary there in 2010. >> and you spoke at the commencement. >> i spoke there, yeah. and it's quit

including harsh anti-voting laws. this year alone at least 90 bills have been introduced restricting voting access in 33 states across the country. these are reprehensible efforts to stop people from exercising a basic american right. and no tweet can change that fact. joining me now is congresswoman marsha fudge, democrat from ohio. and the chair of the congressional black caucus. and dana milbank of "the washington post." thank you both for coming on the show tonight. >> thank you for having us. >> congresswoman, this tweet was clearly a mistake. but in your view, what is the larger gop problem here? >> if this thing was not so ridiculous, it would really be laughable. so i thought what you said was well done. same thing about people not wanting to fund education, not wanting to continue funding medicare and social security at current levels. people who want to destroy food for poor people by cutting $40 billion from food stamps, these same people actually can say that there is no racism in america? the same people
